A key aspect of Unilever's model is "superdistribution", moving beyond corporate websites to place material in locations where targeted netizens will visit.

"Our real focus is to go where consumers are," said Master. "Superdistribution is taking a great piece of content and syndicating it. You can see our video on the Yahoo home page and never leave that site." Unilever is a European global giant that markets some 400 brands in 14 different categories to consumers.
